ASSEMBLY.

The House met at 10 A. NJ, Speaker Jordan in
the chair and a quorum present, although there
were many vacant chairs"
The general topic Of conversation is the date
of adjournment. The members OF the House
have mostly agreed upon midnight Wednesday.
The members, generally are not men ofwealth,
and do not propose TO donate gratuitously much

upon rather strong pull, yet it carried by
almost a unanimous vote, Coombs of Napa be-
ing the only member who voted against this
last grab. The House at the first of the session
voted themselves set OF Codes valued at $40
each.

be directed to forward by mail after the close of
